Lest we forget SABRA

sleeping youth, as soldiers leaving her behind;

Beirut is slaved ...a night like eternity passes;

Her chest lies massacred as her knights say adios...

Dumped by fatigue of Arabians,

Her silence like roses for the conscience

SABRA body missing between the seas,

How was she left behind; night like salt

The killers knives.., Zionists longing to kill Stealth her rings, body parts lay on their tables In the whispering darkness returns her spirit back to our stones
